Here! Here! Peter I am with you! "We Dared to Reinvent our Classic Van", they should be ashamed of themselves. Any self respecting lover of the hippy movement, or lover of the classic VW Van series would literally spit on that thing VW is calling a "reinvention" of the classic! Not only is it disrespectful to all those who love the real VW Vans, indeed it shows how out of touch they are. If they for one moment did any research by asking those of us who own these vans they would know we all hate that bastard child they call a reinvention. Sorry if my tone in negative but when I see corporate automakers make automobiles and claims without market research it really angers me at their wasteful nature. Waste of ad time and for me wasteful use of materials and money to produce a piece of crap like that vehicle. I have no idea why they just did not come out with the Design they showed us all years ago. That indeed was a "reinvention". I would like to see that Van in a hybrid. Then you are talking true innovation. Ok, I am done. Thanks for indulging me.... Robert NY
